Description
“Stylocellus” spinifrons Roewer, 1942
Stylocellus spinifrons Roewer, 1942: 277, plate XX, figs. 5a–c. See complete synonymy in Giribet 2000: 69.
Comments: As with L. laevichelis, the description of Stylocellus spinifrons contains little information that would properly ally this species with the correct genus, and although it has illustrations, they are incomplete and imprecise. I have thus obtained the type specimen, which, although noted as a female in the description, is actually a juvenile. The overall shape and location (Sarawak, Bornean Malaysia) would suggest it is a species of Miopsalis, but this cannot be said with any certainty, and it is at present impossible to match this juvenile with one of the many species found in the region.
Material examined: Holotype, juvenile [identified as female on label] (Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt (SGN), Roewer collection no. 5338), Borneo, Sarawak, no collection date given, determined by Roewer 1942.
